Officials are trying to determine why a drone being used as part of a Navy training exercise malfunctioned off the Ventura County coast Saturday.
Two sailors suffered minor burns in the incident, the Navy said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Third Fleet told the Associated Press that it is unclear what went wrong.
The ship sustained some damage and is returning to its home port of San Diego, the Navy said.
